This week I've been very aware of other people's grief and loss, and while I can't say or do anything for these people that will ease their pain, what I can do is reflect, and pause, and truly cherish all that I have. In his darkest moment, one of these people said to me it was better to have had the time he had with the love of his life - even for the short time they had together - than to never have known what it meant to share that love with someone. The other's will still be looking at the empty cot where the baby they went to have in hospital should be ... but is not...and never will be.
Life is fragile, it truly can just end, or not work out how you planned, or hoped, and things change very quickly and loss comes to all, and often when you least expect it.
I can only try to remind myself of this, every day, so all the little things that make my life what it is, don't pass me by.
